Number 10 - Their Country Has Too Many Flags And Too Many Names

Apparently Britain has too many names just because we are made up from 4 different countries, similarly America is made up from 50 different states and 4 commonwealths and is known by 6 different names (The United States Of America, United States, the U.S., the USA, the States, or America).


Also each British country has it's own parliament, ministerial authority, and flag. Similarly each state in America has it's own government , police force and indeed flag, so that's 4 flags for us and 50 flags for the U.S. Oh, and the reason Wales was left off the Union Flag is because it was a principality and not a kingdom, however there have been talks to create a new flag that includes Wales.

And just one other point Mr Grasse the national flag for Britain is the Union Flag, not the Union Jack as you call it, it is only called the Union Jack when it is flown from the bowsprit of a ship.

Number 9 - They think Kings and Queens are better than the rest of us

From this section Mr Grasse shows how stupid he actually is, he seems to think that because it is written into the Constitution that "all men are created equal" that in America everyone is equal, not true, just take a look around you, are you equal to the President? If so why do you pay the President $103450000 every year (Salary: $400,000/yearly, Secret Service Protection: Undisclosed, but upwards of $100,000,000/yearly for the incumbent president, $3,000,000 yearly for the rest of their lives for each former president and his wife, Expense Account: $50,000/yearly)? That works out to be almost twice the amount we pay for the Queen, who, it has been calculated, actually brings into the country 20 times what she earns thanks to tourism. Now that's what I call value for money.
